started to harass the complainant by repeatedly calling her. Thereafter, the complainant blocked his mobile number, however, the applicant started calling the complainant by other mobile numbers.

It is alleged that the applicant used to threaten the complainant by saying that if she doesn’t talk to him, he will call her family members and allegedly will get her house demolished. 6. It is alleged that thereafter the applicant further threatened the complainant and told her that he will defame her if she doesn’t talk to him on call while removing her clothes. When the complainant objected to the same, he allegedly got a knife and attempted to cut his hand, after which the complainant removed her clothes and talked to the applicant.

It is alleged that the applicant had clicked screenshots of the complainant while being on such calls, whereafter, the complainant started working at a different place.

It is further alleged that the applicant used to repeatedly follow the complainant and insisted her to come back to her old place of work. 9. It is not disputed that the FIR has been registered for the offences which are bailable in nature. A person can file an application for grant of pre-arrest bail on an apprehension of arrest when he has reason to believe that he may be arrested on accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence and, therefore, the present application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, is not maintainable.

It is, however, made clear that in case, during the course of investigation, the prosecution finds the need to investigate any
